		<description><![CDATA[A week-long vigil for Gilad Shalit began outside Downing Street today. It has  been arranged by the FZY, who deserve a massive round of applause for this and  other initiatives for Gilad. It was great to be there today, and to see so many  positive reactions from passers-by. People stopped to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a powerful article by Leon de Winter in yesterday&#8217;s Wall Street  Journal. He analyses the fall-out of the flotilla incident and discusses what  drives the selective hatred of Israel among European people.
De Winter  begins with the Free Gaza group, which was behind the flotilla:
